"The new Moon in Aquarius on February 15 2018 at 1:05 pm PST, also an eclipse, begins the year of the Earth Dog.

Dog year is a time of fairness and equality. Controversial issues are given their due, revolutions are successful, politics are liberal, and political oppression is opposed. Integrity and honesty are the values that lead to success under Dog’s watchful and just influence.

Earth Dog possesses some of the finest qualities of any of the 60 animal signs of the Chinese zodiac." ~Susan Levitt

Astro Alchemy tells you what to expect during a transit, how you might feel, what the planets role is - and then how to use it. It contains many insights for beginners, advanced students and astrological counselors.

Transits activate the natal chart, setting off natal complexes or aspects which bring energy to some part of the personality. By learning to use your transits you can take charge of your own personal growth and transformation.

There are three major predictive techniques defined in this book: these are secondary progressions, solar arc progressions and transits. From the respected astrologer/author of Secondary Progressions: Time to Remember.

The formidable team of Sakoian & Acker (The Astrologer's Handbook) now turn their skills to planetary transits - showing how the different forces cycling through the mandala of the horoscope open new territories for growth and understanding.

Filling a gap in the body of existing astrological literature on Progressions, this book contains the only metaphysical framework ever published for understanding secondary, tertiary and minor progressions.

Here you will find a brief review of the astrological basics (planets, houses, signs and aspects) and then the heart of the book - Transits - the current positions of the planets in the sky compared to one's birth chart.
